Tokyo Mandala was the 5th and last Mandala retrospective exhibition of Tomatsu Shomei's work, held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in the autumn of 2007. "Tomatsu [,who died in 1912] was a founding member of the influential Vivo photography collective in 1959 and mentor to successive generations of younger Japanese photographers. Best known for his post atomic bomb images of Nagasaki, Tomatsu's work seeks to reframe photojournalism beyond the constraints of an earlier social realism imposed by photographers like Ken Domon. By placing an emphasis on the expressive quality unique to the photographic image, Tomatsu's photographs of a Japan in a rapid postwar transition deliver a layered commentary as they explore image as symbol."--ICP blog Monsters & Madonnas. As Tomatsu writes in the introduction to the catalog: "Each of the Mandala series consists of photographs I have selected after careful review of all the film I have shot in the regions of Japan where I have photographed extensively. The most extraordinaryly difficult part of that process was selecting the photographs for Tokyo mandala. Having made the Tokyo area my base for about 40 years, from my 20s to my 60s, I was faced .. with a daunting problem of scale. The Tokyo area is huge, I have worked there for four decades, and thus had an overwhlmily large number of photographs from which I had to make a selection." Included in Tokyo mandala are many of his most iconic images, covering the period from the end of WWII, through the Occupation and the tremendous influence of American culture, up through the end of the 20th century. In Japanese; foreword, introduction by Shomei Tomatsu, parallel title and some captions are also in English. 191 p. : Ill., ports. ; 30 cm.
